do you mean a right circular cylinder?
In that case, you will get a rectangle (of indefinite or definite length).
In general, a cylinder is formed by moving a line parallel to its fixed original position and tracing a curve on a plane not containing the line. (Too complicated?)
Say your curve is a circle. Have a line perpendicular to that circle, then move that line parallel to its original position.
Then you have a right circular cylinder.
Any prism can actually be called a cylinder in that definition.

The cross section is a RECTANGLE with the base equal to the cord cutting on the base circle and the height equal to the height of the cylinder.

A rectangle where chords of the bases are one pair of opposite sides and segments with measure equal to the height of the cylinder for the other pair of opposite sides.
